The Servant Problem and Its Treatment in Samoa
Mrs. Robert Louis Stevenson describes life in Samoa noting no servant system but household workers as family members. She details the social ranks the Beautiful Maid and the Magnificent One and the cook who serves as a society leader, plus the strain on servants and wages. Ice cream as medicine is discussed as a remedy for digestive issues. Mirages like the Fata morgana fascinate travelers, while the palm and sole cushions protect against shocks to bones and muscles.
